I'm loath to give up firsts for almost anyone. I didn't even like giving up a first when we did it for Cooper and I love Cooper.

Sometimes you have to pull the trigger to get that little extra. I wouldn't do it if we weren't so close but really who is there at 26 that would do that for you? We may not even get a guy that will start this year.

And this dude is plug and play.

For Simmons? He is in his prime and better than anyone at his position that is in this draft. I would certainly do it.

The problem is he wants out because he is in a contract year and wants to make bank. The pick for him is fine but the pick plus a 20 mil per year contract is what is hard to pull off. There is a difference between a rookie for 5 years on the cheap and a guy in his prime wanting to break the bank.

I'll be honest I do too. I get the argument for doing it but the contract is the real difficult part in these trades. You're not just giving up a first round pick. You're giving up a player on a cheap contract for the next 5 years.

An even better reason. A motivated Simmons.

Simmons is arguably the best DT in the league after Donald, I'd give up 26 and a 4 for him and then would be more than happy to give him 24/year.

But that would never happen obviously.

Simmons is a significantly better player than Cooper and at a significantly more important position relative to how this team is built.

It's not a stretch to say that he's a top 5 defensive player in the league.

Yeah, hell I remember wanting to draft him. I agree he is a talented dude. But no way the Cowboys are willing to give him 20+ mil a year and a first round pick and a fourth.
 
A 1st and a 4th? No damn way. Nope.

You're not serious until you put Geng's flag in your profile.
